While
if (isc_refcount_decrement() == 1) { // memory_order_release
isc_refcount_destroy(); // memory_order_acquire
...
}
is theoretically the most efficent in practice, using
memory_order_acq_rel produces the same code on x86_64 and doesn't
trigger tsan data races (which use a idealistic model) if
isc_refcount_destroy() is not called immediately. In fact
isc_refcount_destroy() could be removed if we didn't want
to check for the count being 0 when isc_refcount_destroy() is
called.
